Hearing the almost-legendary tales of the Wasteland Heroine, many other ponies followed her righteous path, turning the wasteland into a peaceful land. Surely, most innocent ponies are grateful for such... Silver Bolt, however, is not. Peace is bad for his arms-selling business, so much that he had to resort to other means to make a living... once a proud and respected stallion, now a bottom-scraping pony. That life comes to a sharp change when destiny presents an opportunity to him: follow his steps as he attempts to micro-manage a pitiful group of raiders into a fearful band of slavers that may eventually, wreck terror among the Ponave desert.
